¹²⁶ It is time, O Lord, for you to let your work be seen; for they have made your law without effect.

⁸ But you are turned out of the way; you have made the law hard for numbers of people; you have made the agreement of Levi of no value, says the Lord of armies.

⁴ For this reason the law is feeble and decisions are not effected: for the upright man is circled round by evil-doers; because of which right is twisted.

⁸ How is it that you say, We are wise and the law of the Lord is with us? But see, the false pen of the scribes has made it false.

¹⁴ For if they who are of the law are the people who get the heritage, then faith is made of no use, and the word of God has no power;

⁶ There is no need for him to give honour to his father. And you have made the word of God without effect because of your teaching.

³¹ Do we, then, through faith make the law of no effect? in no way: but we make it clear that the law is important.

¹⁴ I have long been quiet, I have kept myself in and done nothing: now I will make sounds of pain like a woman in childbirth, breathing hard and quickly.

¹³ You will again get up and have mercy on Zion: for the time has come for her to be comforted.

¹⁹ Up! O Lord; let not man overcome you: let the nations be judged before you.

³⁶ For the Lord will be judge of his people, he will have pity for his servants; when he sees that their power is gone, there is no one, shut up or free.

¹⁴ And Abraham gave that place the name Yahweh-yireh: as it is said to this day, In the mountain the Lord is seen.
